Southwest Shutdown

Over winter break, Southwest Airlines underwent a tremendous shutdown, and, while it’s certainly common for airports to be hectic during the holidays, no one could have expected what trouble would eventually ensue for the airline company.

On December 26, 2022, Southwest began canceling flights; by the end of the holiday season, they had cancelled over 15,000 trips.

Many worry that this catastrophe will reoccur during Spring Break travel. With this vacation just around the corner, here are some ideas of things to do if you are planning to stay in Houston and avoid airports altogether!
